I have just driven 1400 miles to the Scottish Highlands and back & averaged 51mpg. Pretty impressive I thought especially considering about 900 miles was on motorways. Admittedly when the car is pushed hard the high revving engine is a tad annoying but have got used to it now so would consider this car good value and enjoyable to drive.
Another great and fair review Tish, I've owned that very same model in that colour since January this year and can honestly say I use it in mixed driving both around town and up and down the motorway and in the real world when you do the sums and work out the Real mpg and not what it shows you on screen as that only shows you the mpg at that time you are using it and NOT overall it has never dipped below 60 mpg, regarding the looks I love it, but guess I'm bound to say that lol, just to let you know that is not the top model there is one above it with a different colour roof and roof bars plus a little extra spec, not that that model is lacking and I think it's the sweet spot in the range. Love you reviews and look forward to the next.
60 mpg is really great. My honda jazz hybrid can do 65 to 70 mpg and around 600 miles per tank.. do you know how many miles per tank Honda hrv can run?
My new (July 24) Advance has done 1700 miles in the first 5 weeks and over that mileage (mixed driving including several 200-300 mile round trips) has averaged 57.8mpg. The tank only takes c £50 to fill up (my previous and excellent Hyundai Tucson N Line took £80+ to fill). Build and paintwork is exemplary, and the engine just needs to be driven differently to a petrol engine as it's, er, different!😅. It cruises superbly on level roads and corners far better than the Tucson. For my needs, in retirement, this car is perfect.
I agree with most of your opinions on cars but I think the HRV is a fine looking car. I really do like how it looks. Maybe it’s just approaching middle age but I like it quite a bit more than most Honda designs.
Truly fantastic Model in the Honda range....can't entirely agree with your comments on the external appearance however, none fussy, unlike that HYUNDAI "Ioniq 5" with the BUILT IN 'side Swipe' creases in the door panels, ridiculous design. The build quality is exceptional..,enjoy G.A.R.
I had a huge problem with this car during my test drive: in the middle of the car, my knee was leaning against the sharp edge of the silver ledge and my knee really hurt. I saw no other way how to position my leg and prevent this sharp protruding edge from penetrating my knee. No other car has this sharp edge. That is probably the biggest reason I did not buy the car. I would have to wear a knee protector.
It really looks good, no matter what you say. It is not a fashion trend, it just looks good. You can't really argue about taste! To be honest, your voices drives me crazy! Even if you praise something, it still sounds you are criticising or complaining!😬
Very good small SUV. Just there is an elephant in the room for me - it’s Jazz/Fit with higher fuel consumption, running costs, price, 0-100, noise and dimensions while keeping the same interior dimensions. Sorry for not being objective, I love Honda Jazz :-D
I’ve driven both, and I generally agree. However, the HRV is more substantial and comfortable, and doesn’t have the occasional shudder that passes through the Jazz on certain roads. It rides higher than the Crosstar Jazz too, which is important for some people who find easy access important. I also think the HRV is incredibly handsome, far better looking than any of the competition.
I think Honda missed a trick there with the center of that steering wheel. They could have done what Citroen did years ago and have it stay in place while the wheel moves around it and it would have worked really good. Unlike the Citroen idea which also contained all the steering wheel controls for phone, radio etc on the central steering bose the Honda steering wheel does not.
Although this would not be on my 'to test drive' list it is an interesting car. The style is ok and inoffensive and being a Honda should be nailed together well and as you mention should be reliable as well. I do like the switches for everything, other manufacturers should take a note. That CVT gearbox though would turn me away. It may not be for me but this was a very good, well thought out and balanced review. Keep up the great work Tish, I hope you remembered to take your snack with you.
Why the is the car different between Europe and Australia (or North America)? It looks like a decent car. However, for a similar price, I prefer my Mazda CX5.
Different platform. The American car shares a platform with the Civic, so it can have a two litre engine but it loses the very useful magic seats. It has similar performance to the hybrid but is a larger car. The world market car is far better looking, as most Americans concede.
A family member who bought one of these cars now regrets doing so, engine revs it's head off (noise very bad) on slight incline, mpg lowest 43-53mpg average. I am now cancelling my order after waiting 9 months not as good as drive as people make out. Also normal motorway driving revs it's head off even when battery is full it does not switch over to EV
@@maff257 And Japan as well. It’s already for sale in North America as the HRV. I am sure Australia will get it, but in Australia, the HRV is the same version as the one in Europe pretty much.
@@Helder1110 And by introducing another SUV below the CR-V will probably mean they will push the price up of that above £40k when the updated version is launched next year.
@@AutoSocialUK its a 10 plate 2.4 tourer , I’ve had it for over 4 years now , not exactly economical around town but mid 40s on the motorway. I’m keeping it for as long as legislation allows.
Awe will you go away with that Tish. There us nothing bold looking about this HRC. It's dull. The second generation model was much better looking it was classy and stylish this is just dull.
Had mine a year, far better economy on motorway driving mid 50’s My son is 6ft tall and we compared the Puma to the Honda before buying the Honda wins hands down. You also failed to show the magic seats for extra storage, so overall quite shabby presentation.
We do NOT get that HRV that you showed! That is the new ‘ZRV’ which is coming in 2023.We get the same as the UK,but only in two variants. 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘
I think it has a bit of a Volvo vibe to it which I like but as you say we’re all different. We’ve had 3 Hondas and the reliability has been great . We’re were two women and a child and now we’re empty nesters of a certain age so reliability is something we value . Currently we’re considering another Jazz or a HRV . We like the Jazz but people do tend to intimidate you on the road in it, hence looking at the HRV. Recently we’ve hired a few SUVs and we like the height and better view of the road but looking at reviews the reliability of most can’t match Honda and familiarity is something you tend to value as you get older. I’m just concerned about the HRV now being made in Mexico rather than Japan or the UK. Does it have that cast iron reliability of other Hondas ? Thanks for the review, it was very helpful.
You got the HRV model in Australia wrong; you’re referring to the US model. We have the same 2022 HRV here in Australia, I’ve already bought one and driving the same colour as the one you are reviewing.
The Australian one looks wat better. This one is too square. When the Jazz, and even the Civic, have as good internal dimensions I can't see myself buying this one
She meant the American one, the Australian one is similar to the British one, but specs vary from country to country around the world. The American one shares a name but nothing more as it’s built on a civic platform and has a two litre engine. For my taste this is one of the handsomest cars out there, bar none. Honda did well here, unlike, in my opinion, with the new Jazz, which has a front like an Iveco truck, which works on the truck but less well on the Jazz.
Honda tops the charts for reliability? Yeah umm, Toyota might be offended by that statement. Lol very nice looking car. Not very popular here in Jamaica tho.
@@rajindernijjer . That’s awful. My friends had a failed spark plug, which was put down to wear and tear. That’s in a world where decent iridium plugs should last 100000k. I wouldn’t touch a Kia with a barge pole.
Wow - for me this is by far the best looking SUV I have seen in a long time. Great review!! Was thinking about new Sportage, or New model Tucson hybrids - but this (externally) looks way more premium. Have you driven the others? If so, which is best drive in your opinion?
Oh interesting, this is what comes up when I googled 2023 Honda HRV Australia and I had also seen it on a couple of Australian auto influencer profiles
I compared the H-RV to a Yaris Cross and Suzuki S-Cross, and eventually chose the Suzuki, for the better value and practicality. I also think the 1.4 Boosterjet engine in the S-Cross was better to drive, and we easily average 50mpg+.
You are the only reviewer who understands that the size of the boot is not everything, but the shape matters! Good, balanced review. I will pick up my HR-V Advance Style in January, coming from a 2014 CR-V Diesel (built in Swindon). I have never driven a car as relaxing as the HR-V. And you can avoid the noise by just not pushing it too hard. By the way, in Germany, the HR-V won the famous red dot design award. I love the looks and will not get tired of them after ten years. Don´t think the Kia Sportage will stand that test of time.
I think Toyota started that “self charging” commercials. Actually, if you watch the energy flow on highway, the engine is sometimes powering the car and charging the battery at the same time. Not only downhill, anytime it will be more effective for “fuel : energy created” ratio
I agree with you, it isn't a good looker. But it's the one car that I would consider buying even though I would love to go electric. All the cars I purchased in the past I ran until they fell apart, that is until I got my Honda mk2 CRV at one year old in 2006. I can't wear it out and it still drives today as good as the day I took ownership. This HRV comes at low end full electric money and will probably last two to three time longer than them.
I will never understand the “hybrid” I had a 4x4 diesel that did 55mpg mixed and 60+ mpg on a distance run, existing technology. Hybrid’s are brought about after spending a fortune on development and return hopeless fuel economy. Like the trend setting paint splash on your knee, are you decorating in between videos..?
I would never buy Toyota Yaris with diesel and it would never run 3.5 l/100 km on my everydays 5 km journeys. Not mentioning the noise, dust and NOx coming to the people on the street.
@@mariosspyrou4494 Where I live, diesel is about 10% more expensive over petrol at the gas station. The same with engines itself I guess. I don't say no to diesels, I think plug-in hybrid with diesel is ideal, also you don't build petrol/electric tractor for example.
The Type R and Civic Hybrid are sold out with 2 year waiting lists and they are building a huge new showroom in Brisbane near the airport, I think they're gonna surprise you
I’ve seen a few of these on the roads, and it looks very odd. A bit top heavy..as though it’s jacked up? Like other modern Hondas, they have gone for a more minimal design language, but the cars look very very bland.
In Japan, there is an AWD version of the HRV (which is called the Vezel over there). Shame we don’t get it here in Europe. Oh, and the new 2023 HRV (the one shown at 2:39) is actually for North America. In Ozzyland (which is what I call Australia), they have the same HRV as Europe and other markets. However, in Europe and Japan, the crossover which is called the HRV in North America will be called the ZRV, but I’m sure Honda will sell that particular vehicle in Ozzyland. North American specs are made in Mexico, and the European/Japanese specs are made in Japan. It’ll also be made in China for the Chinese market.
I'm guessing that wasn't Rush's version of Cinderella Man Trish was playing? I drove my dad's Lexus CT200 recently and when you push on the CVT is a bit yucky but how often and for how long do you actually push on in today's give and take driving. Most of the time on the motorway it was unobtrusive and things have come a long was since then and Honda's CVT is supposed to be the best so I'm guessing it's fine. The motorway mileage is very disappointing especially as out 2010 Civic 1.8 petrol will equal that mileage. I think the car looks good in person especially in the lighter colours. Saw one in a light olive colour and it was quite lush.
I have just driven 1400 miles to the Scottish Highlands and back & averaged 51mpg. Pretty impressive I thought especially considering about 900 miles was on motorways. Admittedly when the car is pushed hard the high revving engine is a tad annoying but have got used to it now so would consider this car good value and enjoyable to drive.
Remember it's great to say most SUVs are about as areodynamic as a building brick

I enjoyed watching the Video Review. One of my favourite SUVs with some great features 😊
Thank you for this review. Very helpful 👍
That electric boot is very smooth are very well engineered. I have seen posher cars with noiser boots.
This is the best looking small size SUV! Neck to neck with CX-30! I wish we got this HR-V in US, instead of the submarine on wheels looking one.

When accelerating hard use the gear paddle shifter to change up the gears that keeps the revs down that's what they are for.

However, in Europe and Japan, the crossover which is called the HRV in North America will be called the ZRV, but I’m sure Honda will sell that particular vehicle in Ozzyland.
North American specs are made in Mexico, and the European/Japanese specs are made in Japan. It’ll also be made in China for the Chinese market.
The front is ok but the rest is boring. The silhouette is old fashioned looking.
these CVT screams is like manually launching your car in 1st gear and keeping it in 1st gear until you ease off the accelerator.

@@AutoSocialUK Think you´re mixing up the CR-V (Honda) with the CH-R (Toyota).
oh Barbie... have you ever tried cooking? 👎
Nothing like a bit of sexism to start the day
Hilarious, did you leave the rest of your personality in the 50’s or just your jokes?
A lot of sexism from a man who can't even find out how to enable the wireless android auto on the hrv

I'm guessing that wasn't Rush's version of Cinderella Man Trish was playing?
I drove my dad's Lexus CT200 recently and when you push on the CVT is a bit yucky but how often and for how long do you actually push on in today's give and take driving. Most of the time on the motorway it was unobtrusive and things have come a long was since then and Honda's CVT is supposed to be the best so I'm guessing it's fine. The motorway mileage is very disappointing especially as out 2010 Civic 1.8 petrol will equal that mileage. I think the car looks good in person especially in the lighter colours. Saw one in a light olive colour and it was quite lush.
